I'm offended that you're offended

White teenagers singing along to A$AP Ferg's rap song whose lyrics include the n-word is offensive to Barry Bonds?  A pregnant white actress who captions her Instagram post with a lyric from Sir-Mix-Alot's "Baby's Got Back" is offensive to the black community?  I don't get it.  Yes, I agree that A$AP Ferb's "Dump Dump" song is totally and completely offensive in and of itself.  However, a black artist (who most likely profited from these white people) can write and record a song with these offensive lyrics, but a white person can not sing along to it or refer to it? Sure, there are plenty of things going on in the world today to get offended about.  But, white people directly repeating a black artist's song lyrics is not one of them.
